Quote book
The Love of Christ Impels Us has an awesome quote of the month:
"My dear young people, do not yield to false illusions and passing fads which so frequently leave behind a tragic spiritual vacuum! Reject the seduction of wealth, consumerism and the subtle violence sometimes used by the mass media. Worshipping the true God is an authentic act of resistance to all forms of idolatry...Listening to Christ and worshipping Him leads us to make courageous choices, to make what are sometimes heroic decisions. Jesus is demanding, because He wishes our genuine happiness....There are so many of our contemporaries who do not yet know the love of God or who are seeking to fill their hearts with trifling subsitutes. It is therefore urgently necessary for us to be witnesses to love contemplated in Christ....Dear young people, the Church needs genuine witnesses for the new evangelization: men and women whose lives have been transformed by meeting with Jesus, men and women who are capable of communicating this experience to others. The Church needs saints. All are called to holiness, and holy people alone can renew humanity." -- Blessed John Paul II
